The Alberta Motor Association (AMA) is a multi-service member-run organization that provides driving education, rewards, roadside assistance, travel, insurance, banking, and many other member-focused services. When AMA wanted to launch its community membership — their first true subscription-based membership — AMA decided to rethink its existing membership system

In this blog post from the AWS Institute, learn how Digital Iceland’s decision to work with partners to access knowledge and capabilities underpinned successful service transformation, enabling them to digitize 20 services in just over three years.

Public health agencies know that modernizing their technology infrastructure is necessary to avoid disruptions to program operations and create new opportunities to serve their constituents. To this end, the Arizona Department of Health Services (AZDHS) migrated their Women, Infants and Children (WIC) solution to AWS to increase resiliency so essential services are available to WIC beneficiaries, and to provide a more seamless WIC program experience overall. This makes the State of Arizona the first in the nation to run their WIC program in a multi-Region cloud environment with robust disaster recovery capabilities. Learn how the State of Arizona migrated and modernized its WIC program with AWS, and find out more about how public health agencies can adopt a similar solution to take a measured approach to modernization.

On the journey of finding answers and solutions to address global sustainability challenges, universities are integral in delivering ground-breaking knowledge and scientific advancements. Collaborating with industry can in turn accelerate innovation through to practical implementation.

Two Nordic-based organizations are using AWS to reach ambitious sustainability goals. Recently at the AWS Summit Stockholm, leaders from Finland’s Posti Group and Sweden’s Stockholm Exergi shared how they’re using cloud technology to innovate the full end-to-end value chain of their services, and create a culture of shared responsibility for sustainable solutions for their customers and beyond.

Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs like architecture, design, and digital editing can require significant computing power and high-end graphics cards. While many schools across the US provide students with laptops to provide access to web-based applications, these laptops often don’t have the computing power to support these types of programs. The East Central Ohio Educational Service Center (East Central Ohio ESC) addresses this issue for central east Ohio schools by using AWS. With the cloud, East Central Ohio ESC helps school districts save thousands of dollars, and in one case up to a million, providing students and teachers with the computing resources they need to succeed in their classes from anywhere.
